    “I can’t refuse, can I?” she asked.


    His eyes flickered. The smile on his face faded a little. He slowly straightened up and looked down at


    her. “No, you can refuse, I can give you the right to refuse, but…”


    After a pause, he said with a strange smile, “Are you really going to refuse?”


    Serenity felt as if the air around her froze. If she agreed to his proposal, she would indeed gain a lot. It


    would change her destiny.


    If it was any other person saying those things to her, maybe she would actually agree.


    But Jackson Valor… She feared this man. He had never harmed her directly, but one word from him


    was enough to make her life in prison hell.


    And even before that, not a singlewyer dared to take her case because the victim who was killed in


    the car ident was Jackson Valor’s fiancée.


    She was also unsure if he had anything to do with all the false evidence against her, as well as the


    witnesses who all testified that she was drunk driving


    The man’s shadow loomed over her like a nightmare the whole time. After learning his true identity.


    whenever he moved close to her, her body would go stiff.


    Whenever he initiated physical contact with her, she would shiver.


    How could she possibly stay by his side?!


    She took a deep breath to suppress her fear and said, “Yes, I’d like to refuse.”


    His face sank and his eyes turned cold. “Are you sure you want to refuse?”


    “Yes,” she answered.


    He suddenlyughed. “Who would have thought that I, Jackson Valor, would get rejected by a woman?


    Serenity, think about it. Without my protection, what will happen to you? Even if the Shaws and the


    Halls stop messing with you, are you gonna be a sanitation worker for the rest of your life?”


    She bit her lip and said, “That’s none of your concern.”


    His lips almost pursed into a straight line. The mes of anger started burning inside him. He had never


    gone to such lengths for a woman before, yet she waspletely ungrateful and was hell bent on


    getting away from him.


    How long had it been since hest got so mad at someone? He was so mad that he wanted to strangle


    her, but he knew that he could not bear losing her.


    He could not bear losing her?!


    -He felt incredulous that someone could actually make him feel this way.


    He left without saying another word. After he left, Serenity’s tense body finally rxed.


    When the doctor came to perform the daily routine checkup, he informed Serenity that she had fully


    recovered. Her blood test result showed that there was no more residual drug left in her body. “Then,


    can I be discharged from the hospital?” asked Serenity.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
